We know it’s a really exciting time buying and building your first house, however, it does not always end up that like that for many first time house buyers.
Too many times we see people wasting hundreds of thousands of their hard earned money on a new home & land package due to the fact that they thought they were getting themselves a good deal.
However remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
See, some home builders ‘conceal’ their additional fees and don’t provide you fixed upfront ‘costs’. Suggesting that ‘quote’ they just provided you, will most definitely NOT be the final amount you need to pay.
Which’s when you should be asking yourself, why?
If you’re being offered any house and land packages that are 10s of thousands of dollars less expensive than other similar houses you‘ve taken a look at … there is probably an excellent reason why.
Most of the time it’s due to the fact that you’re missing out on extras that ought to really come as standard (and they’ll be making you pay for them later), or you’re going to be paying additional for ‘site costs’ so the contractor can catch up their original price gap.
We hear a great deal of horror stories from first house buyers that get a little bit too excited and unfortunately didn’t do enough research prior to parting with their hard-earned cash.
Rahul was one of them. He came to us after spending his whole $25,000 deposit to secure a block of land that no Company wanted to develop on (plus the worst part was, he thought he ‘d got himself a cheap cost, however he ‘d in fact paid more than what it was valued at and actually didn’t need to turn over a 10% deposit either).
Sara, unfortunately, came to us after she ‘d just signed contracts with a big Company and paid her deposit, just to later be hit with an extra $35,000 in ‘unexpected’ costs (for items she thought were inclusive in the original quote) and had no idea how she ‘d pay for them.
Luckily, with Rahul, among our new house specialists were able to assist him discover a home builder that specialised in building on smaller narrow blocks of land and wasn’t going to charge him a fortune to do so.
However, with Sara, it was far too late. Beginning again with another home builder and losing the deposit she ‘d previously paid wasn’t a choice. So she wound up having to finance the additional $35,000 from her parents and chalk it up to one of those lifes lessons.
Rahul and Sara are just some of the many first house buyers that discover themselves in a really confronting circumstance due to the fact that they‘ve decided (and parted with a great deal of savings) without having all the details and assistance from specialists, that they needed.
And we really don’t wish that to happen to you!
